Rain comes from the east one night |
|
We watch it come to hang like beaded curtains |
|
Till the morning sun, water dripping from our clothes |
|
You with raindrops on your nose |
|
Ask me sadly, "Please don't go away now |
|
Till the rain is done", I say I'll stay now |
|
Rain outside but inside we don't mind at all |
|
Shadows by the fire slowly climb and fall |
|
Kisses fade and leave no trace |
|
Whispers vanish into space |
|
The dawn will send me on a chase to nowhere |
|
Why cry as if I were the first to go there |
|
And I know I shouldn't be here |
|
Yes, I know I should go home |
|
But that eastern rain drones in my brain |
|
And I'm so all alone, so all alone |
|
Morning comes up from the east, we watch it come |
|
And far away now rolls the ancient rain god's drum |
|
You with daybreak in your eyes |
|
Afraid to speak for telling lies |
|
I watch you search for some reply to lend me |
|
But when the rain is done there's no pretending |
|
And I know I shouldn't be here |
|
Yes, I know I should go home |
|
But that eastern rain drones in my brain |
|
And I'm so all alone, so all alone |
